MONTREAL — Quebec Premier Francois Legault says his government will move to electrify transportation systems, buildings and businesses in order to reduce oil consumption in Quebec by 40 per cent by 2030.Legault said his plan to electrify Quebec will require massive investments, which he said could be unlocked by reviewing the management of the government’s Green Fund and by increasing funding for infrastructure planning.
Legault also sought to reassure party members who have urged him not to sacrifice Quebecers’ quality of life to appease the green lobby, promising his government wouldn’t bow to pressure groups even as it listens to citizens calling for stronger action on climate change.
Does that also apply to their airport expansions, proposed LNG exports, brand new cement plant, etc. Just asking for a friend.
A shift like that is going to cost billions--hope Alberta is on better financial footing because we're going to get stuck with the tab.
Dream on
The ROC will pay for it right?
I don’t need no stinking oil in my province
Sure the only province that has free electricity.
I can just see Legault during the first winter Je peux juste voir Legault pendant le premier hiver
And he wants Alberta to pay for it
Good luck with that, maybe it's time to block tankers in the st Lawrence to speed things for you.
another madman, quebec can sure produce their share. all this tells me is that quebec has to find a market for their hydro electricity. over the years the u.s. has built natural gas and coal generating power stations and are less dependant on que. hydro
Lol, Think of Ontario.....
Ya, when equalization ends, folks won’t have any extra money cuz you’ll have to tax them into oblivion....just sayin🧐
